About the Tcoil. I don’t see why a Tcoil couldn’t be added to your hearing aid if there is enough room inside...it’s only a copper wire. And shame for that Audi for not automocally including it.
They make sweatbands for BTEs bit at a ridiculous price. I have actually wrapped Saran Wrap around mine in the beauty parlor . It crackles a little bit if you touch it but you can still hear . I plan on making a pair someday with waterproof material...a little hand stitching....or maybe a material like an elastic bandage which would be porous enough to let sound through. Try wrapping a small piece of this stuff for a temporary fix.

@imallears That's what I thought about the T-coil, but was told it can't be added. So now I know to look for the letter T after the model number. My Starkey had a T-coil model, they didn't show it to me. About sweat, I found what I call hearing aid 'condoms' that you can slip over the HA. You just have to remember to slip it on before going out in heat or hot yoga. I keep one with my yoga stuff and put it on before class. I wish they could make the HA's with a more moisture proof coating so you don't have to remember to slip the covering on.
